April Fools in DecemberEPO
It’s a bittersweet ballad where the festive sparkle of a winter city at Christmastime overlaps with the sorrow of a love’s end—an irony that cuts deep.
The song by EPO was released as a single in November 1985 and included on the album “PUMP! PUMP!” With lyrics and composition by EPO herself and arrangement by Hiroshi Sato, its sophisticated sound blends AOR balladry with city pop.
The lyrics are striking for how they overlay the pain of heartbreak—realizing the person you believed was your only one was not—onto a title that deliberately invokes a “day of lies.” A self-cover version was released in 1993, and a completely re-arranged re-recording in 1999, keeping the song loved for many years.
It’s a track that quietly stays by your side when you feel a little distant from the dazzling Christmas scene.
246:3AMInagaki Junichi
Released as a single alongside the debut album in July 1982, this song stands out with its distinctive title that blends National Route 246 and 3 a.m.
The lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa, the music composed by Kazuhiko Matsuo, and the arrangement handled by Akira Inoue, making it a defining track of Junichi Inagaki’s early AOR sound.
The album features accomplished musicians such as Tsuyoshi Kon and Tatsuo Hayashi, contributing to its sophisticated production.
Its bittersweet melody and restrained vocals harmonize beautifully, capturing the poignancy of the city at night.
Highly recommended for city pop enthusiasts and anyone seeking the roots of early-’80s Japanese-language AOR.
Merry-Go-Round in DecemberTeraoka Yohito
Yohito Teraoka, who began his career as the former bassist of JUN SKY WALKER(S).
His fourth single, released in November 1995, is a notable track with lyrics by Kanako Nakayama of Princess Princess and music co-composed with Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children.
Set beneath the Christmas city illuminations, it portrays a poignant scene in which memories of a past love begin to swirl, resulting in a sweet, nostalgic ballad.
The production story is also memorable: Teraoka and Sakurai alternated in crafting the melody at Teraoka’s home.
It’s a perfect karaoke choice for those moments when the glamour of Christmas leaves you feeling a little bittersweet.
17 (until the day I die)BIGMAMA
It’s a coming-of-age number where fierce yet fleeting rock sounds intersect with razor-sharp guitars.
Featured on the album “Tokyo Emotional Gakuen,” released in October 2023, the track drew attention for its baseball-themed music video.
Many listeners will feel encouraged by the lyrics’ positive words and ambition: “I can’t end it like this,” and “The only thing I can change is my own actions.” When you want to strive toward a goal or change your current situation, listening to this song will surely give you the courage to keep going.
3% and me.riria.
Singer-songwriter Riria, who enjoys overwhelming support from younger generations mainly on social media.
Released in October 2025, this song was written as the opening theme for the BS TV Tokyo drama “Wakakozake Season 9.” Its lyrics, which express everyday fatigue and emotional wavering through the motif of alcohol, are a standout feature.
The airy sound that makes use of transparent synths and her emotional vocals are soothing.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you need to unwind at the end of the day.
December RainArai Yumi
This song, which captures the loneliness of winter and the bittersweet longing for a love that has passed, is a gem that represents the early work of Yumi Arai.
Released in October 1974 and included on the album MISSLIM, it features a restrained band performance as its foundation, while the beautiful choral work by Tatsuro Yamashita and Taeko Onuki leaves a strong impression.
There is even an anecdote that Yamashita agreed to join the recording on the condition that he handle the chorus arrangement.
Set against a winter scene of December rain, a quiet nostalgia for days that will never return rises to the surface.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to softly by a window streaked with cold rain, when you feel like immersing yourself in memories of the past.
March 9Fujimaki Ryota
Music that gently wraps the days we spent together and our cherished memories is perfect for the start of graduation, isn’t it? This is the solo version by Ryota Fujimaki of the song Remioromen released in March 2004.
Set to a calm tempo, it portrays the radiance of a new beginning.
Through images of cherry blossoms that come to mind when you close your eyes and metaphors of light illuminating the future, it conveys not only the sorrow of parting but also the feelings of setting off on a journey filled with hope.
Originally written to celebrate a friend’s wedding, it became widely known as an insert song in the 2005 Fuji TV drama “1 Litre of Tears.” This version was released in 2017 as part of Ryota Fujimaki’s solo work.
If you pair it with a message of gratitude or a memory video with friends, it may make those irreplaceable moments even more moving.
